I’m from New York and moved to Florida when I was 19. I worked at a nursing home as an orderly and became interested in being a physician assistant because of a physician assistant that worked at the nursing home with me. I went to school at the University of Florida and worked in Orlando, Fla. until 1996, then transferred to Kaiser Permanente Colorado. I have a wife and a dog. We like to hike, bike and ski and I also play the guitar.
